Circle of Life

The "Circle of Life" is a concept that appears in many cultures and philosophies. It often refers to the continuous cycle of birth, growth, death, and rebirth.

Others believe in an afterlife where the soul continues to exist in a different form.   All living things depend on their environment t...
